About the Author
Mike Ohlson de Fine
is a graduate Electrical Engineer specializing in industrial
process measurement and control. He has a Diploma in Electronics and Instrumentation
from Technikon Witwatersrand, an Electrical Engineering degree from the University
of Cape Town, and a Masters in Automatic Control from Rand Afrikaans University. He
has worked for mining and mineral extraction companies for the last 30 years. His irst
encounter with computers was learning Fortran 4 using punched cards on an IBM 360
as an undergraduate. Since then, he has experimented with Pascal, Forth, Intel 8080
Assembler, MS Basic, C, and C++, but was never satisied with any of these. Always
restricted by corporate control of computing activities, he encountered Linux in 2006
and Python in 2007 and became free at last.
As a working engineer he needs tools that facilitate the understanding and solution
of industrial process control problems using simulations and computer models of real
processes. Linux and Python proved to be excellent tools for these challenges. When he
retires he would like to be part of setting up a Free and Open Source engineering virtual
workshop for his countrymen and people in other poor countries to enable the bright
youngsters of these countries to be intellectually free at last.
His hobbies are writing computer simulations, paddling kayaks in wild water, and surf
skiing in the sea.
At the top of the pyramid of people who have helped and encouraged me
to write this book is my wonderful wife Suzanne. Thank you Suzy, with all
my heart. I want to dedicate this book also to three courageous people,
Genevieve, Candace, and Peter, who have bravely chosen a steep and
dificult path in their lives. I salute you.
Next who I would like to thank are the very professional and pleasant staff
of PACKT Publishing. A special thanks to the restrained and long suffering
reviewers Mike Driscoll, Warren Noronha, and Flavio Barbosa. Your criticism
was invaluable.
